Facing budget cuts or layoffs? You’re joining the club of overwhelmed and overworked IT managers. For everyone else in the organization, a RIF means a slowdown in productivity as people leave, and as those who remain try to understand what just happened. For IT teams, however, a RIF means a sudden, steep increase in workload.
The Reality: It’s More Complex Than It Looks
Every departing employee means hardware recovery, license optimization, security cleanup, and subscription cancellations. It sounds straightforward, but managing this manually creates headaches and risk.
Your Solution: Partner with ITAM Experts
With a clear, systematic approach, you can handle the complexity while keeping operations smooth and secure. The first step is calling in an IT Asset Management partner, such as ComputerCare, who will take the lead on these critical areas:
Setting Up Automated Offboarding We implement automated workflows that handle asset recovery, security protocols, and audit trails consistently. You won’t have to worry about missing critical steps—we’ve got the systems in place.
Handling Professional Asset Recovery We take charge of maximizing recovery value while maintaining security standards. We coordinate pickups, assess conditions, and build strategic asset inventories that actually get used instead of collecting dust.
Managing Smart Reallocation Instead of you scrambling to figure out who needs what, we match recovered assets to current needs. We handle the logistics of redistribution, generating immediate cost savings and reducing waste.
Storing in Secure Facilities and Ensuring Legal Compliance We manage secure storage for all recovered assets, including free accessory storage for cables, chargers, and peripherals. We also coordinate with your legal team to ensure proper handling of any devices subject to legal holds, maintaining chain of custody and compliance requirements.
Keep Security and Compliance on Track Proper offboarding requires comprehensive data removal, access revocation, and device sanitization. We handle these security protocols systematically, giving you peace of mind with detailed audit trails.
